A slightly different view of Islam: we will explore the controversial origins of Islam and its first two centuries of development. Next, we consider the intellectual and political conditions that caused the early Islamic world to become intensely interested in science. Finally we look at the surprising and profound influence early Islam had on Western Christianity, science, and culture.
